The Hostel

Chicago Getaway Hostel Has One of the Most “Walkable” Locations in the US

The location of the Chicago Getaway Hostel could not be better! The website walkscore.com compares the location of the hostel with the rest of the US and gives the location of the hostel a 100 out of 100 in terms of “walkability.” Even in Chicago alone, the location of the hostel gets a 97 out of 100.

It is no wonder why the location is considered to be so “walkable.” We are close to everything you need: public transit, shopping, theaters, restaurants, grocery stores, parks, coffee shops, bars, libraries, drug stores, etc. There is no need for a car here. You can get to eveything you need on your own two feet!
